Air traffic controllers call off action

The Work-to-Rule campaign launched by the Air Traffic Controllers Association over salary anomalies was called off after talks with Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Nimal Siripala De Silva last night.

Air Traffic Controllers attached to the Katunayake, Mattala and Ratmalana airports launched a work to rule campaign on Monday (3). The trade union action was briefly called off on Tuesday after assurances given by the Ministry.

However, trade union action resumed their campaign following failed discussions with authorities.
